Photographing the Front Lines
Published October 28, 2010 Photography , Photojournalism Leave a CommentTags: Afghanistan, conflict photography, Iraq, Joao Silva, Moises Saman, war
On the heels of back-to-back A1 photos in the New York Times, The Columbia Journalism Review has an interview with freelance conflict photographer Moises Saman. Along with explaining how he got the shots that ran with stories on the WikiLeaks documents, Saman had a lot to say about his good friend and colleague João Silva, who lost both legs to a landmine in Afghanistan last weekend.
But when something like this happens there are many questions that go through your mind. You try to reconcile that sense of loyalty to a story—the reason you got into the business in the first place. You have to keep focused and continue to do your job. I still feel strongly that it’s very important to have independent journalism, especially from conflict zones.
On a side note, Foreign Policy has a gallery of Silva’s war zone work here.

Michael Kamber I Military Censorship
Published October 20, 2010 Photography , Photojournalism 1 CommentTags: Afghanistan, censorsip, Iraq War, Michael Kamber, U.S. military
During embeds with the United States military, Kamber was limited in regards to what he was allowed to photograph. One day during his time embedded, Kamber’s unit was attacked by an IED. After a quick recovery from the debris, Kamber began to photograph but the unit captain yelled out to him “no pictures!” Kamber replied “I’m here to do my job and you can take my cameras later.” The U. S. military later warned The New York Times not to publish the photos and also threatened to revoke the paper’s embed access. Mr. Kamber and his editors dug through the images from that day and tried to conform to the military’s requirements. The graphic images were left unpublished.
